Volunteered to quickly design this campaign banner for @riserefugee (riserefugee.org/[+])
C’mon Minister Bowen! http://t.co/XCtGTOB0
A developed nation we may be, but there is nothing developed about our public transportation system. Woefully unreliable and expensive.
@metrotrains delays over 25 minutes on the Pakenham line and not a single announcement?
Writing is the most overlooked skill in UI design. Copywriters prepare content, but functional copy (headings, form labels…) is up to you.
@melizaho I don’t know how they get away with it.
@timmackay Yep, scumbaggery to the max, @IMAXMelbourne!
@grahamrb But I assume it’s for credit card processing, and I’m making a group booking for a bunch of people. Not fair.
#ScumbagUX is @IMAXMelbourne charging an online booking fee PER person.
Reluctantly signed up to @foursquare. Getting swamped by badges and invites, but that free skewer @Sataybar for checking in was worth it.
Typography can’t hide your dull copy. Textures won’t fix your weak composition. Focus on the epicentre. Be creative in the right things.
@established1987 Amazing. Who’s desk is that? Birthday?
@trowdy Fair article. Imagine if print designers didn’t understand typography or the printing process.
My weekend’s music taken care of by Maatibaani, a lovely new indie band from India: youtube.com/…ure=youtu.be[+]. Buy their music if you love it too
@trowdy LOL thanks.
@deanfra Today it’s called UX, tomorrow something else. I just design for humans and try not to use the acronym version of User Experience.
@trowdy @deanfra Sound principles, but ultimately UX is an end result, not a prescription. We need to design well FOR a good user experience
@deanfra Pretty much. It’s what User Experience stood for historically, but overuse and misuse has misrepresented its real focus (People!)
@deanfra I know it’s stretching it, but substitute ‘user’ with ‘human’ and the distinctions in design and channels start to fade away.
@deanfra They are interacting with your store’s staff, brochures, ads or floor plan at a psychological level. In that sense, they are users.
